HDD Destruction in Singapore

How are Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) securely disposed of?

HDDs are securely disposed of through several methods to ensure their data is irrecoverable. One method is degaussing, which uses a powerful magnetic field to effectively erase data from the HDD platters. Another disposal method is physical shredding, which breaks the drives into tiny fragments, making reconstruction impossible. Specialized equipment is employed for the HDD crushing and piercing of platters and internal components. To guarantee a secure process, we maintain a secure chain of custody thanks to our GPS tracking, locked transport, and CCTV recording efforts.

What are some Hard Disk Shredding Solutions in Singapore?

a. On-site Solution: Mobile shredding units provide immediate destruction at client premises. Benefits include direct witness capability, enhanced security through no transportation risks, and immediate certificate issuance. VisionGreen's mobile units are office-friendly with low noise levels and dust-free operation. We also offer real-time destruction monitoring and immediate documentation for your convenience.
b. Off-site Shredding: HDDs are securely transported to dedicated facilities for high-volume processing. Our facility features access-controlled systems, 24/7 CCTV surveillance, and metal detectors. The perks of off-site processing include cost-effectiveness for large quantities, specialized equipment access, and comprehensive recycling capabilities. All transportation includes GPS tracking and sealed containers for optimal security.

What type of certification is required for professional HDD disposal in Singapore?

Professional HDD destruction in Singapore requires up to date NEA licensing for e-waste handling. Service providers must also maintain updated ISO certifications. These include ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001. Additionally, R2v3 certification demonstrates adherence to responsible industry recycling standards. These process-related certifications aside, BizSAFE certification for workplace safety is also seen as a must-have for proper HDD disposal in Singapore. VisionGreen holds all required certifications, ensuring compliance with local regulations and international best practices. These certifications guarantee proper handling of toxic materials, data security protocols, and environmental protection throughout the destruction process.
